  5. Involvement in Curriculum development

  6. Coherent science and technology education (CSTE)

  7. Aims for CSTE • the advancement of uninterrupted learning by bridging the boundaries between the disciplinary contexts • the improvement of the transferability of disciplinary learning outcomes by transferring within and between disciplinary contexts, and between disciplinary contexts and daily life contexts • the understanding of the nature of the constituting disciplines • the understanding of the coherence between the constituting disciplines

  8. Development of CSTE • coherence of school subjects and between school subjects • one or more types of CSTE (Type 1 to 4) in lower secondary education • Type 3 of CSTE (separate subjects, coordinated curricula) in upper secondary education • coordinated national curricula at the macro level

  9. Research program ‘Didactics of science’ • Didactics of the teaching of keyconcepts, approaches, and skills • Innovation in content and didactics of science curricula • Didactics of teaching sciece for teachers and in science teacher education • Didactics of informal science education New: Coherent science education
